"walking in a winter wonderland!"

So, this morning, as I was getting up, look what I saw out my window!

Isn't it gorgeous?!

I actually went outside in my PJs and boots and hat and coat and took pictures.

It was like a snowy-frost that coated everything. The news people were calling it "freezing fog."

Don't you just love winter?

some fun Pictures I've been wanting to share!

Ya gotta love photography! So. Much. Fun.

tomorrow, tomorrow, you're always a day away!!!

Tomorrow, I will be on my way to....

This Gorgeous place!

Doesn't it look gorgeous? I've never been there before, but my dad has. It's a cabin by lake George! I am so so so so excited!!! We're going to go with some friends, the pastor from the church we went to when we lived in Hawaii, and his wonderful wife. I seriously can. Not. Wait.

My dad, even bought me my very own fishing pole! Because he fly fishes, he figured I needed to at least catch a fish! And IT'S PINK! I totally totally totally am NOT an outdoorsy person. I really am not, but I think I will survive! =) No, I know I will! With my white floppy hat on my head, my beach bag full of romance novels in my hand, an extra coat of lip gloss, AND a pink fishing pole? I. Am. Set.

Then...

On Saturday morning, we'll eave the cabin and go to HORN CREEK!!!

Our {awesome} church has a family camp there every year. Most of my friends have gone there for years and years, but this will be our very first time. And, from what everyone says, it's sure to be a blast!!!

We're going to be gone for 10 days. 10 glorious days! I could not be more excited!! Oh and I promise to tell you ALL about it when I get back! =)

Tomorrow, Tomorrow, I will be ON MY WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

beauty is every where, you just have to look.

Have you ever just stopped and looked around you? Beauty is every where! Seriously! Until about a week ago, I had never really thought of how everything, has beauty in it! Even if at first glance something is annoying or even ugly, if you really look at it, there's so much more to it. SO MUCH MORE. I know how I can get tired of looking at the same things. But the other day, when I was outside, I was looking around and I realized how much I take things for granted. Maybe I sound like I'm being a little over dramatic when I say everything has beauty, but if you really think about all the things we see everyday and how we just pass them by with out even thinking of how amazing or maybe even strange or creative they are. Everything God made in creation is simply amazing. The imagination put into everything in Nature is astounding. And to think God made it by the word of his mouth is even more amazing. How do the flowers know when to bloom? How does the sun to know when to rise and set? God created it so that it does. Which is SO amazing!

We look around us and what do we see? The same things we see everyday. But shouldn't we see more then that? Shouldn't we look around and just not know what to think? God created the world so intricately. So creatively. Shouldn't we stop and realize how amazing it all is?

I want to challenge my self to not take it all for granted. I think our culture is so caught up with hurrying around with our lives. With getting everything done that needs to be done. But shouldn't we sometimes just take a breath and thank the Lord for giving us the beauty of nature? I want to take time and 'smell the roses'. At least just once in a while. The Lord put so so much thought into creation...and I'm so so glad he did.

I want to really look for the beauty that is every where. It's truly amazing!!
